)"Reading Poetry Every day to Prepare for Death," a discussion about the terror offered the reader by poetry, and its usefulness for a good death. We will read and range from Blake's "Energy is Eternal Delight" through Rilke's "There is no place that does not see you/ You Must Change Your Life," to the latest in genuine verse-apprehension of mortality. A unique offering by the editor of "Exquisite Corpse" for the Dias de los Muertes. Also a writing workshop: "Writing the Exquisite Corpse: Paper and Flesh Varieties," a collective experience.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada, April 19 (Friday) 2013. Spoken Word Festival, The Banff Cenre, Festival Hall, 1215 10th Ave S. Word Makes World: Writing Generative Verse: This is a poetry writing workshop that aims for the tender intersection of word-fertility with critical inquiry. We will write some exercises, but the stress will be on the particular attention that language requires to become incarnate. Helpful to this would be reading "The Posthuman Dada Guide," and "The Poetry Lesson," two short books. "The Posthuman Dada Guide" surveys the history of poetry's increasing urgency in a wacked world, and "The Poetry Lesson" is an amusing (and deadly serious) distillation of my years of teaching mysteries for a quarter of a century. April 20 (Saturday) 2013. Reading & signing “So Recently Rent a World” Contact: sheridwilson[at]shaw.ca
